If we are dissucssing the same These are byproducts of autoconf tests
that are done, say, by the gettext m4 macros. We cannot get rid of
them.

I am not sure that std::string with or without stdlib-debug are binary
compatible. But I may be wrong. Also, when template instantiations are
merged, what happens?

Read about it there: http://ccache.samba.org/

It is supposed to support win32 compiles.

The problem is not to acknowledge that autoconf sucks at some things.
Autoconf is known to be able to make big programs portable. The
question is not how to do easily 95% of what autoconf does, it is the rest.
